Crushed Stone (1″, Crushed)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone, Crushed, 1" Size Range
Crushed stone in a 1" size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular fragments. The "crushed" attribute means each piece has sharp, irregular edges, which help the material lock together when compacted, providing excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.
The 1" size is ideal for projects requiring robust drainage and structural support. Its larger particle size allows water to flow freely, making it a popular choice for drainage systems, septic fields, and as a base layer beneath driveways, roads, and concrete slabs. The angular nature of crushed stone also makes it less likely to shift under pressure, which is beneficial for retaining wall backfill and railroad ballast. While its rough texture can make it harder to achieve a smooth finish, this same quality enhances traction and reduces movement, making it less suitable for decorative pathways but excellent for heavy-duty applications.
